Measuring tapes and wheels are tools used for measuring distances and lengths in various applications. Measuring tapes are flexible, long and thin strips of metal, cloth, or plastic, typically with markings that correspond to feet, inches, or metric units. They are commonly used in construction, carpentry, and other industries for measuring and marking distances, lengths, and angles. Some measuring tapes also feature additional markings for specific applications, such as stud spacing or roof pitch.
Measuring wheels, on the other hand, are a more specialized tool used to measure distances over longer distances. They consist of a wheel that rotates as it is pushed or pulled along a surface, with the distance measured by counting the number of revolutions made by the wheel. Measuring wheels are commonly used by engineers, surveyors, and landscapers for measuring distances, such as land or property boundaries.
